protocol.GetTracksByTypeRequest2
This request allows you to get all the tracks of the desired track type, sorted by desired metadata field. An optional indices parameter can be passed if you wish to subset the returned list if you have a limit on the number of results you can display on your user interface. There is also an optional parameter that allows you to just get a slice of results around a matching string. This is useful if you are randomly jumping around in the results for example alphabetically.
